I love this.
It's incredibly creative and fun. I had an E-Reader growing up, which was a similar concept but suffered from problems in that it was trying to fit a disposable experience onto an expensive piece of dedicated hardware. The scanning experience was sub-par and the ecosystem just didn't lend itself well to trading or hiding cards. The E-reader was trying to match a disposable, tiny experience to an expensive, closed ecosystem, and that discordance meant that it just didn't work very well.
But this -- everyone has a phone that can read these, you don't have to install anything, anyone can print them out and share them. I see this and immediately start thinking of fun things to do with the platform. I love the physicality that's kind of missing from fantasy consoles like Pico-8.
This is wonderful, I hope you continue working on it.
